The Official E3 2009 Thread - Page 4

...okay, seriously, what the hell is up with those tweens and those remotes?

A few things have peeked my interest from the front page, but... eh. Generally I tend to ignore E3 though. Sounds like it's been a bit crap the past few years anyway.

Goddamn excited about Monkey Island though.

*Dr. Doom* · 06-02-2009, 09:15 AM

I'm actually really upset about not having Zoey, Bill, Francis and Louis in L4D2. I got so used to having them around in the frist game that the idea of playing as other characters (even though it makes sense since it's a different location) is like a rug being pulled out from under me. That being said, I've already called dibs on the guy in the suit.

As for everything else so far, the Old Republic trailer was pretty appetizing, and I'm glad I got to see more of Turtles in Time, albeit just a slight glimpse, and I'd be lying if I said the idea of more avatar stuff didn't excite me, since I'm a whore like that. That all being said though, it doesn't really seem like Microsoft's press conference really knocked everyone on their asses like people were hoping it would. Even I find myself surprisingly underwhelmed by MGSR, but maybe I just need to see more of it to have it really grab me.

EDIT: Also, seeing something from Mass Effect 2 was exciting and Beatles Rock Band looks beautiful.

So far, I've heard nothing but "Microsoft did it right." from the gaming press.

I'm just home on my lunch break right now but this Nintendo conference is god awful. Wii Motion Plus!!! OMG here is a video to demonstrate...oh wait it's video of the WiiMote from 360 degrees. YAY more Wii Fit!!

Is the NSMB on the Wii just like the one from the DS but with multiplayer? Or is it an entirely new game? I didn't catch it.

F*ck Nintendo.

**GK Punk** · 06-02-2009, 11:44 AM

I got a text message from Corey this morning saying she bumped in to TMB lol.

*Cure* · 06-02-2009, 12:00 PM

Wii Vitality Sensor! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

*Ninjinister* · 06-02-2009, 12:10 PM

NSMBW is what I've been waiting for. I don't care if I get stuck playing as a Toad; this is awesomesauce.

EDIT: Mario Galaxy 2?! I don't even have the first one yet!

*Cure* · 06-02-2009, 12:15 PM

Mario Galaxy 2 was such a spit in the face. It should have been f*cking DLC.

Peanut · 06-02-2009, 12:15 PM

Nintendo conference was a load of f*cking ****. NSMB Wii looks decent, but I've played that god damn game for 20 years at this point.

Mario Galaxy 2 reeks of a rush job. The fanboys are crying, so throw more levels together and sell it at full-price. It even had some of the same bosses in it.

The only good thing they had was the 2.5D Metroid. Nintendo is f*cking fail again this year.

Nintendo's conference was just one big troll for every core player out there.

There's a brand new Metroid coming, and it looks really hot. No video up yet, but I'll get it up to you as soon as it pops up. I knew you'd be the first one excited about it.

*Mecha Cow* · 06-02-2009, 12:22 PM

I don't know how they managed to hold such a clusterf*ck of a conference for the third year in a row, but they did. I think we can safely say Nintendo sucks now. A lot.

Yep, lol. Saw Stuttering Craig and James Rolfe in the Nintendo line and started looking for her.

Just played Spirit Tracks on the floor. Balls. March of the Minis 2 looks passable, but I'd rather have a classic DK94 game. New SMB2 is something I've been crying over since last year. Glad to see its a full retail game and not a WiiWare title (size issues and all). Didn't see Mario Galaxy 2 coming, but its welcome. Sure, its essentially a DLC pack, but whatever. New platformers are rare in these times and I'd never turn down a chance to ride Yoshi in 3D done right (glares at Sunshine). And the first one was so damned good anyway, it felt like there was more they could do with the engine.

I honestly thought it was through there. The Metroid video caught me completely off guard. Saw the Team Ninja logo in space and started looking for Metroid clues. Knew it was Samus when she appeared and put the Team Ninja artistic filter on it in my head. Story driven, 2.5D and some first person sections (full voice acting)...looks fu*king amazing.

Well, I'm off to play with Project Natal at the Microsoft appointment, then I'm heading to Konami to play Turtles in Time.

Metroid: Other M trailer

*Ninjinister* · 06-02-2009, 01:13 PM

Maybe I'm just retarded, but so far Nintendo's conference has had the most that's interested me.

Anyway, Sony's starting.

*Duke* · 06-02-2009, 01:14 PM

I'm really hoping the new Mario and Luigi: Bowswer's Inside Story returns the charm of Superstar Saga and doesn't turn out like Partners in Time.

I really wish Nintendo would give Luigi some love and release a sequel to Luigi's Mansion or finally deliver a Paper Luigi or something.

That's not surprising at all.

Never mind, knowing you, the answer is obvious.
